Chapter 29

In the prime minister's house on the 13th of the first month, Du Hanfei, who had just stepped down, was furious in his study.

Yesterday, the old man of Wu Taifu unexpectedly brought the Secretary of Dali temple to his prime minister's house to arrest people. He went into the palace overnight and argued with Wu Taifu in front of the emperor. But the official silver was dug up after all. Those farmers still have private letters from Zhu ChenLin. It is inevitable to take them into custody. Fortunately, they can be saved.

He was already managing his contacts. In the early days, he also arranged for someone to question this time. He had planned to find someone to replace Zhu ChenLin in another day or two, and the matter would come to an end.

As a result, he could hear people talking all the way back to his house after going down to the court. There are also some wandering children singing a song: "governor Zhu ChenLin of Jiangzhou, corrupt and perverted the law to harm the government Yin. Innocent officials have been wronged and ordered to go to prison. There is no justice for treachery. No! God! Justice!..."

Although it was well known when Zhu ChenLin was arrested yesterday, he pressed fast enough and blocked the news. People should only know that he is in prison, but they don't know what the so-called thing is. But why? Overnight, all over the city!

With a "pop", he smashed another piece of blue and white porcelain.

"Did you find out who sent the news?" Prime Minister Du Cheng asked his confidant Mingyi.

Mingyi knelt on the ground and the blue and white porcelain was broken at his feet. He hardened his head and replied, "Mr. Xiang, I really can't find it. I've basically asked all over the capital. The most useful news is that there is a masked man in black who left yinliang religion and disappeared after this song. One has no appearance and two have no characteristics. There is only one sentence: man in black, subordinate, subordinate really don't know where to start."

"Don't embarrass Mingyi, father. He really can't help it." Du Kun, the eldest son of prime minister Du Cheng, said persuasively.

Mingyi takes a grateful look at Du Kun.

"According to elder brother, what should we do now?" Du Ming, the second son of prime minister Du Cheng, sneered.

Du Kun glanced at Du Ming with Yu Guang, then turned to the prime minister Du and said, "the most important thing now is to get Zhu ChenLin out of it."

Prime Minister Du nodded and said to Du Kun, "I'll leave it to you. In the evening, arrange someone to go to Dali temple to confess his crime."

"Yes." Du Kun retired and went out to do business.

Du Ming went to Du Cheng and asked, "Dad, don't check this?"

"Check, why don't you check? Go and check the person who submitted the certificate." Du Cheng said angrily.

"Yes."

Du Ming shrunk his neck and quit.

"Pa. Pa. Pa." There were bursts of broken voices in the study. The whole prime minister's residence was shrouded in haze, and the people were cautious and frightened.

In the imperial study, while turning over the memorial, the emperor asked Duke Li: "I heard that the people in the capital are quite concerned about the case of Zhu ChenLin?"

"Yes. There is a little more talk."

"Where did the news come from?"

"Maybe it was too much publicity when the Dali Temple Secretary arrested people yesterday."

"What do you think of it?"

Duke Li glanced at the emperor and said, "the emperor has his own decision on this matter."

The emperor snorted coldly and scolded, "old fox."

Duke Li said with a flattering smile, "the old slave went to make a pot of new tea for the emperor."

Duke Li, who left the imperial study, was surrounded by people sent by the imperial concubines and princes of various halls. Everyone wants to know the emperor's attitude to decide which side their master should stand on.

A ingot of silver goes into grandpa Li's arms. Li Wei is not confused at the critical moment. Now he is stuck in the matter of Zhu ChenLin. He doesn't dare to accept money.

He pushed away the white silver, stepped back a few steps and said to the crowd, "the sacred heart is unpredictable, and the old slave doesn't know. Please go back." Then he turned and walked quickly.

In the jade Fu hall, concubine Li said to Xiao Yanjun, "jun'er, I think it's a little thunder and heavy rain. Prime Minister Du has been an official for many years, has many students and has great power. Zhu ChenLin will be finished by taking a scapegoat for this kind of thing. I think you'd better say some good words and sell a favor for him in front of the emperor in front of him."

"Mother imperial concubine, this matter has been making a lot of noise among the people." Xiao Yanjun didn't want to bear a bad reputation to speak for prime minister Du at this time.

"After all, it's just folk. Can you bring down Prime Minister Du Cheng? Since we can't, he will remember this feeling only when we support him at this time."

Xiao Yanjun thought for a while, as long as Zhu ChenLin was acquitted in the end. Rumors are naturally broken without attack, and the public opinion guidance of the people is finally determined by the result. As soon as I read this, I opened my mouth and replied, "yes, my son knows."

Princess Li nodded with satisfaction.

In the Yongning hall, Xiao Zimu was holding a letter in his hand. It says that Zhu ChenLin and Wu Taifu can work together. The handwriting is wild grass.

If this letter had not been given to him by the Marquis, he could not believe that it was written in early summer.

He took it in his hand and rubbed it repeatedly. After a while, he finally burned it.
